Twitter Scammers Hack Belgian Non-Profit's Account to Promote Fake Coinbase 3,000 BTC Giveaway

The official Twitter account of the Federation of Enterprises in Belgium (FEB), a non-profit organization focused on promoting various businesses in the European nation, appears to have been compromised. The attacker(s) had first changed the hacked account’s display name to “Coinbase” and claimed it was an “official promotion account” of the San Francisco-based digital currency exchange, Coinbase. After gaining control of FEB’s account, the hackers had been promoting fake giveaways, which have become quite common on social media sites.
